The 23-year-old winger was at fault for the first of Atletico's three goals in the Champions League defeat at Stamford Bridge as he failed to track Juanfran's run in the build-up to Adrian Lopez's equalising goal.

And, after having seemingly criticised Mourinho's tactics in the aftermath of the defeat to the Liga title hopefuls, Mourinho pulled no punches in insisting Hazard must improve his defensive game.

He told reporters: "Against Atletico in Madrid, Willian played on the left side and Ashley Cole was protected all game. Against Liverpool, Schurrle played on the left side and a dangerous player like Glen Johnson was completely under control.

"Eden is the kind of player that is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and live his life for him.

"If you see the first goal of Atletico you completely understand where the mistake was and why we conceded that goal. The perfect team at the top level can't make these mistakes.

"He's not the kind of player ready to sacrifice himself 100 per cent for the team. No, I'm not happy [with his defensive performance]. I speak to him all season and I've been trying to improve him all season."
